How about more soccer settings like GiGaKiLLeR's turf modules:
MinPlayersArena, MinTeams, MinPlayersFreq

This should help stop people going into an empty public arena and scoring loads of goals just to get points.

Edit: (all in one post incase I get flamed for posting loads of topics)
How about a publicarena directory? The contents would be used for ?go # and defaultarena will be used like spawn.cfg with subgame. I know there is already a multipub module, but the arena you get sent to isn't named something like (Public 0).

Also an option so that the persist module won't save scores for an arena (I don't know if this is already in).

Some kind of obscene.txt functionality would be good too.

Edit2: ?doormode command and interface

In 1.1.4, you'll be able to make different settings for public arenas and other non-defined arenas by putting stuff in the directory named "arenas/(public)" (because that's an illegal arena name). I might move "defaultarena" to "arenas/(default)" to clean things up also.. any comments on that? Would you prefer "%public%" and "%default%"? Another character of punctuation?

If you want fancier soccer settings, someone else will have to do that. I didn't write the original version, and I don't want to take the time to figure out how it works.

persist will always save scores; I don't see the point of an option to disable it. It wouldn't be particularly hard, if someone could convince me it's necessary.

There's no way to filter chat messages accurately; filters just force people to be more clever with abbreviations and alternate characters. It's also a dumb idea. If you want to set up a zone where people can't curse, have your mods enforce it; they'll be more accurate than any code I can write.

What's ?doormode?

I think I will go for arenas/(public).

I thought the point of Misc:SaveSpawnScore was to save space on the host machine.

?door <params> would be a quick way to do ?seta Door:DoorMode=<params>, also the capability could be given to a mod, rather than smods doing ?quickfix.

That could be done with a quick fix, not sure how it would be done tho. When i did something similar to SSI i had it alias "?set door:doormode=" so that when you do "?door 256", it simply calls the normal "?set door:doormode=256"

I would not recommend making it act as quickfix, as that adds the line to the bottom of the conf files. If you change the walls every couple of minutes, the filesizes start to increase pretty fast.

First need a method of safely replacing previous settings instead of added it to the end of a conf file.

With the door settings they only need to be changed internally, not in the actual conf files.
